Founding Enterprise AE – Close $100K+ Deals with Major Sports Brands | NYC Hybrid
We are partnering with a fast-growing SaaS company that is reshaping how global brands in sports and media manage and monetize their content. Backed by top-tier investors and used by some of the most recognized names in professional sports, this company has established strong product-market fit and is now building out its presence in the US market.
They are hiring a Senior Account Executive in New York City to lead enterprise growth across North America. This is a highly strategic, high-ownership role where you will work directly with the CEO and play a foundational part in building the US sales engine. You will be joining a small but rapidly scaling team with strong leadership, a warm pipeline, and highly engaged enterprise prospects.
If you are someone who thrives in complex, multi-threaded sales cycles and is passionate about storytelling, strategic partnerships, and long-term client relationships—this is an opportunity to close highly visible deals and help build something from the ground up.
What You Will Do
Own the full sales cycle for enterprise SaaS deals from initial outreach to close
Target large, brand-name accounts across professional sports and media
Collaborate with customer success, marketing, and product to execute account-based sales strategies
Navigate complex buying environments and long sales cycles (typically 3 to 6 months)
Represent the company in high-stakes meetings and industry events
Serve as the primary US-based revenue leader, with line of sight to future leadership opportunities
Who We Are Looking For
4 to 7 years of experience in B2B enterprise SaaS sales
Demonstrated success closing six-figure deals with multiple stakeholders
Experience navigating 6 to 12 month sales cycles with executive-level buyers
Previous success in a high-growth startup environment, ideally Series A through C
A strong track record of quota attainment and pipeline generation
Based in New York City and open to a hybrid work model (2 to 3 days in office)
Willing to travel approximately 50 percent of the time to meet with key accounts
Bonus points if you have experience selling into sports, media, or entertainment, or have a personal connection to that world
What You Will NOT Be Doing
This is not a high-velocity transactional role
You will not be working a book of inbound leads or relying on SDRs to build your pipeline
You will not be in a highly structured enterprise org with layers of sales support—this is a build phase
Compensation and Benefits
Base salary range of $100,000-$125,000
Uncapped commission structure with total earnings potential in the $200,000 to $250,000+ range
Equity upside based on company growth and impact
Strong support from a product and executive team that is highly engaged in the sales process
Opportunity to work with a top-tier roster of clients and make an impact on the future of an emerging category
Promotion path toward head of sales or strategic leadership roles as the US team scales
Why This Role
Rare opportunity to get in early with a company that already has traction and logos most salespeople would dream of
Direct access to decision-makers and a voice in go-to-market strategy
Ideal blend of startup autonomy with the backing of a funded, credible business
Product that solves real problems for a passionate and high-visibility customer base
A long runway for growth, ownership, and influence
